Meet the AuthorsEmily Rath was raised in Northern Kentucky. A life-long lover of words, she’s been writing for as long as she could hold a pencil. Her earliest stories were about daring egg burglars, majestic horse lords, and seafaring adventurers. She put story-writing on hold for a few years…quite a few years…as she pursued higher education. She chose to focus on her other soul mate: international politics. This lover showed her the world outside of books. Now, she holds a BA in political science and philosophy, two MAs in political science, and PhDs in peace studies and political science. While a university professor, she specialized in teaching modern African politics, international relations, development studies, and peace studies. She credits her time living in Malawi for reigniting her love of writing. She’s currently a full time author and lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, kiddo, and three very needy (and unruly) cats. Kristen Granata is a teacher by day, and a bestselling author by night. Known for writing emotional contemporary and new adult romance, she loves creating realistic characters who struggle through the darkest parts of life and come out stronger on the other side. Kristen is a self-proclaimed “bitter cynic trapped in a hopeless romantic’s body.” Her inspirational stories make you laugh, make you think, make you ugly cry – and they will always live happily ever after. Kristen openly shares her mental health struggles with depression and anxiety with her readers. Her message is a beacon of hope to anyone who is suffering: You are not alone. She delicately weaves this theme into her writing, and her stories demonstrate the ability of love to heal after tragedy. Kristen's newest release, Ice Rivals, is a spicy MMF, second chance, hockey romance that you do not want to miss! It will be for sale at the event. Tickets are non-refundable. Please only buy a ticket if you are confident in your ability to attend. Tickets to the event include a copy of Emily Rath's Pucking Strong.

To the world, I’m America’s sweetheart. A brand built on fairy tales and love songs that sell millions. But the truth? I’m not sure I believe in happily ever afters . . . At least not for me. Burned-out and desperate for a break, I return to my hometown, craving quiet and a tiny taste of freedom. But instead of peace, I find a stalker in the shadows, paparazzi on my heels, and a meddling family with their own ideas about my life. Everyone insists I need protection, and having my new bodyguard pose as my fake boyfriend makes total sense . . . Not that they asked me. If that’s not enough, did I mention that Killian is all too happy to volunteer for the job? This MMA champion is brooding, relentless, and inconveniently perfect at keeping me safe. He’s also unimaginably gorgeous, with a quiet confidence that’s even sexier than the ink tattooed on his golden skin. But as lines blur and sparks fly, I’m left wondering if the boy I once loved could be the man I can trust with my life . . . and my heart.

We’re thrilled to welcome Brittanée Nicole and Jenni Bara to Kiss & Tale! We’re celebrating the release of Summer People with a book signing with both beloved authors. 🎟 Your ticket guarantees a copy of Summer People. You will purchase the book at Kiss & Tale during the event. About Summer People Monhegan, Maine: a luscious island located twelve miles from land. Population: sixty eight. Well, sixty nine if you count me, Elizabeth Sweet, Monhegan’s newest resident and retired child star. When I first step off the boat, I’m ready to be charmed by the island that holds the sweetest memories from my childhood. A place so remote that even the pesky media won’t bother to look for me here. What I get instead is exasperation. “Summer people.” It’s grumbled like a curse, a growl of sorts. No one seems to want me here, least of all the grumpy sheriff who seems affronted by my mere existence. He’s stupidly handsome, goes nowhere without his beloved golden retriever Bing, and speaks in nothing but grunts. Unfortunately for Fisher Jones, I’m not going anywhere. In fact we’re neighbors. And his niece Sutton, like every other eight year old in America, is obsessed with me. Summer in Monhegan isn’t at all what I expect, but neither is Fisher. I haven’t quite figured out why he’s so miserable, but I’m also not volunteering what I’m running from. All I know is the Islanders aren’t the only ones worming their way into my heart. Though, I suppose it won’t matter how I feel, if my past catches up to me. Maybe I’m destined to be nothing more than summer people. About Jenni Bara: Jenni Bara is an indie romance writer with a lifelong passion for telling stories. Even as a young child, she would craft tales with her endless imagination; she's improved her skills since the days of scaring younger cousins with ghost stories, but her love for books and storytelling has never wavered. In her everyday life, she is a paralegal for family law writing unhappily ever afters. So naturally, she spends her free time writing happy endings and anything that keeps her laughing, including life with her kids. ​ Jenni pours herself into her writing and is endlessly grateful for her readers. Thank you for reading and reviewing. About Brittanee Nicole: Brittanee is an author who lives in Rhode Island with her husband and two children. Her town is a character in itself in all of her books. When she is not writing she enjoys spending time outdoors by the water with her children, reading at the beach or by the pool (or really anywhere), dancing with her friends, singing Karaoke, spinning, bike riding and boating. Some of her favorite authors are Sophia Kinsella, Elin Hilderbrand, Liane Moriarty, Mary Higgins Clark, Meghan Quinn, Daphne Elliott, Amy Alves, Claire Kingsley, Melanie Harlow, Christina Lauren, Sally Thorne and Sarah Adams. (Clearly, she has a problem and can’t pick favorites.) Information Source: Kiss & Tale™ A Romance Bookshop | eventbrite

Fix up my late aunt’s house, sell it, and get back to our lives when the summer ends. But the universe has other plans and I find myself standing face to face with the one person I’ve tried hard to forget. Carson Ford. The father of my son. The man who knew nothing of our child until this very moment. Six years ago, we had one night. One reckless, unforgettable night that would change both our lives forever. Now Carson, star player for the Aston Archers, is hotter than ever, and way too close for comfort. He’s demanding answers. Time with his son. Time with me.
